"This is a fantastic time for our athletic
department and for our swimming and
diving program. We are fortunate to have
the best athletic administration in the
country. The ACC is already one of the top
conferences for swimming and diving as
it continues to improve at a fast pace. We
are honored to join this special group of
schools and we look forward to the high
level of competition."
